Thanks, Bill. Gotta say so far it's been the easier roof panel to work with. You wouldn't believe how light they are. Of course they are not meant to be walked on but for a simple canopy they worked great.
Yesterday I finished the addition to the deck in front adding another 8' x 10'.
I had some 6' standing seam roof panels so used those to give a partial canopy. I have a palm in the middle so couldn't go any longer. It's a
Dypsis pembana - see below for mature example. Right now all my palms have fronds overhanging into the decks a bit but in time the canopies will be above it.
I am using this part of the deck to hang some of my bicycles. It will also be a great area to do bike maintenance and upkeep. I also plan to put a small grill out there and a small flat screen hooked up to an OTA antenna. I already put some solar lights and will add more later today.
